10.37 – Oh my God, my head and limbs and torso really hurt. The fatal error was taking out one of the good wine glasses last night. It’s so much easier to drink lots from a nice glass.
Yesterday’s 4-1 win was slightly marred by the news that Jeremie Aliadiere is going to be out of action for at least 3-4 weeks after damaging knee ligaments. It seemed he was about to get the run of games that many of us have wanted him to get. It’s a real shame for him. It also means we’re very light in the striker department, with Bergkamp and Wiltord injured and Kanu wanted by Nigeria tomorrow, but Arsene Wenger doesn’t envisage any trips to the January sales. He’s also slammed Danny Mills for being a mouthy bastard when it came to Henry’s penalty. “He tried to use the trick to upset the penalty-taker. I can understand that but I think he was a little bit insistent in the way that he tried to disturb Thierry.”
No harm, Henry scored, made some rather funny ‘talk-talk’ gestures with his hand, and made a fool of the lumpen headed defender by nutmegging him in the last minute and making everyone laugh and point. L’ Henry won’t be selected for the Carling Cup, so it’s likely to be a very makeshift strikeforce for the next game of the Borothon©. Anyway, that’s all for another day. There’s only one way to cure my headache and that’s some delicious frothy beer and the Sunday papers. Laters.
